Conservative think tanks are reportedly working overtime to contain the corrosive damage being done by America’s latest and most absurdly superficial reality television spectacle, the Republican Presidential Debates.

Years of reckless and unrelenting obstructionism has rendered the right wing mindset so methodically mired in impeding progress, they are now arrogantly incapable of pursuing their agenda without unwittingly undermining the platform of their own party.

Between not so subtle appeals to racism and the occasional opportunity to browbeat and bully the moderator, the candidates automatically assault whoever happens to be leading the polls by burying their opponent in a vociferous avalanche of verbal abuse.

The mountain of money made available by unlimited campaign financing has merely managed to fund a cast of characters so completely unqualified it would be a challenge to accept any of them playing the part in a cheap SciFy channel disaster movie.
